Speaking of fives and sevens, the Dodgers have lost five of their last seven games. A win today would make them the majors' first 50-win team; a loss would start talk about whether Manny can save them from the threat of their first three-game losing streak.

I'm in the Vin Scully Press Box today, so look for some quotage from Joe Torre and hopefully some players. I'll be looking for a chili cheese Dodger Dog (or two) in the fifth inning. Oh yeah.

The Dodgers aren't making me happy on the offensive side today, but the Red Sox just erased a 5-1 deficit and tied the game in the top of the ninth. So that's nice, especially given what happened last night.
